You enters inter an' agreement wid me dat yer don't blow dis t'ing, ur I don't tell yer." "What if I want to tell a particular friend?" "Yer don't tell him. Dat's all. I had ter pay t'ree hunderd dollars ter learn dis, an' sign a 'greement dat I wouldn't give it erway. Jem Mace tort me dis trick w'en I sparred wid him in Liverpool. He says ter me, says he: 'Buster, ye're a boid, dat's wot ye are.
"Well, I'd like to know what you want to keep it for," Sam said peevishly, and, with the suggestion of a sneer, he added, "I s'pose you think somebody'll pay about a hunderd dollars reward or something, on account of a cat!" "I don't, either!" Penrod protested hotly. "I know what I'm doin', I tell you." "Well, what on earth " "I'll tell you some day, won't I?" Penrod cried.
"Damn it, Phoebe, doan't you take me like that else you'll get the rough edge of my tongue. 'Tis for you to agree with what I'm pleased to say, not contradict it. I be a hard, keen man, and knaws the value of money as well as another. But Chris is my awn sister, an' the long an' the short is, I'm gwaine to give Clem Hicks a hunderd pound." "Will!
Let's see how the ammunition is." The powder horn was found to be well filled with powder, and the box with caps, but there were only a few bullets. "I'll run ye some," she said, taking from a shelf a small iron ladle, a few bars of lead, and a pair of bullet molds. "Fur more'n a hunderd years the women uv our fam'ly hev run all the bullets our menfolks shot. They b'lieved hit made 'em lucky.
"Two hunderd dollars." "Did you get it?" "Yes." "Do you know what money it was?" "Church-organ money. He told me." "Why did he give it to you?" "I made him." "How?" "Lemme tell it my own way if I got to tell it.... He'd took my girl, and I never liked him, anyhow.... There'd been rumors his old man was bootleggin'. Nothin' to it, of course, and I knowed that. And I needed some money.
Them hunderd an' ten strokes is all the voice I'll have in the matter, or any matter, so long as I live in this God-forsaken town, I'd ruther die than talk over a thing like that in open meetin'. It's an insult to them that went before ye, an' fit hunger and cold an' Injuns. I've got only one thing more to say," he continued, and some fancied there came a little break in his voice.
They tell me he dressed clost to nine hunderd. Hope they contrive to cook him through and through. Never see a barbecued critter yit that was done.... Folks is beginnin' to git here. Guess they won't be a spare bedroom in town that hain't full up."
"Le's see!" said Hiram, fingering his nose, "was it real money or Confederate scrip that you let him have on your morgidge?" "Thutty-five hunderd ain't much on the most central piece of real estate in this village," declared the Cap'n, in stout defence. "It's central, all right, but so is the stomach-ache," remarked Hiram, calmly.
But we'd only about half done our work when a lot more soldiers comed swarmin' down, and Cap'n Drake sings out for everybody to get aboard and to cast off the hawsers for by this time there was nigh upon five hunderd Spaniards attackin' us, and we could do nothin' again so many.
"Now, my advice to you is not to fight the thing. You can't deny the blunder and you'll save cost of litigation." "What's your proposition?" "Transfer your stock to the Seaboard." "And lose a hunderd and two thousand?" "It's not our fault if you make expensive mistakes." "Course not," said Scattergood. "I admit I hain't much on litigation.
